FAQ

What is Relax Kids?

It is a programme used in 49 countries by over one million children. It changes young lives every day…but more than that it transforms the lives of their parents, teachers and families. It is endorsed by educationalists, psychologists, teachers, doctors and social workers.

Every class is structured around seven phases, each calmer than the last which enables children to become aware of their feelings, thoughts and breathing. We begin with exciting physical games and movement and end with relaxed visualisations and deep relaxation.

Why Relax Kids with Karen?

Young people and their carers lead busy lives and there are many ways to spend time and money but I passionately believe that young people need some TLC at the moment. Social media, Covid-19, and exams are adding to the stress of our children’s lives. The United Nations Children’s Fund, UNICEF, has recently measured 41 countries against mental well-being, covering life satisfaction and suicide rates and the UK came 29th. Only 62% of the 15-year olds surveyed in our country reported a high level of life satisfaction.

I have worked with young people aged 3-18 and have now trained as a Relaxed Kids Coach because I want to use my experience and passion to help.

What do children need to bring to a Relax Kids session?

An outfit they are comfortable in and if they want a water bottle, they are welcome to bring one.
